Pick Your Own PERSIMMON - Weekday
- Duration: 60 Minutes (approx.)
- Location: THIRLMERE, NSW
- Product code: PYO Persimmon Weekday
Book yourself in for a fantastic session of picking sweet juicy Persimmons! WE ASK THAT YOU PLEASE BRING IN YOUR OWN REUSABLE BAGS TO PICK THE FRUIT INTO, AS WE CAN NO LONGER PROVIDE FREE PLASTIC BAGS.
This experience includes a tractor ride between the blocks of fruit and the shed. Wearing of a mask is optional on our tractor & in our shed. A detailed explanation of how to pick the best fruit possible is given to everyone to make sure you leave the orchard a happy customer & also rules that need to be followed will be explained. You can pick as much fruit as you want to BUY on the day, but please don't pick excess of your needs. Leave this on the trees for others please!
The fruit you pick on the day is priced per kilogram, and may vary in price through the season, (usually between $6 & $8/kg) depending on fair market price, and size/quality available. Please be aware of this as you pick as we cannot put fruit back on the tree. Once you have finished picking you will return to the shed on the tractor and pay for your produce. We also have other items for sale in our shed such as our incredible Apple Juice & Apple Cider made right here on the farm, & also fresh apples, pure honey, from a local bee-keeper & locally made jams & pickles.
We have in place an on-line booking system and a non-refundable deposit of $3 per person is required to hold the place for your booking. This must be paid by credit card, however the balance can be paid in cash on the day, or via your card.
PLEASE NOTE: Weekday bookings have a minimum number of total required participants for the session to go ahead. - Your booking is not confirmed until you get the confirmation email.
(Weekends have no minimum and each session advertised will be running regardless of numbers).
